The Cotton series is a line of shoot ’em up video game software developed by Success with a long history of releases both in arcades and on home video game consoles. With the series debuting in 1991, the Cotton games have helped to establish the visual style of shoot ’em ups sometimes called cute ’em up. Instead of warships and battle fields typical of most shoot ’em ups, Cotton games put players in control of a witch riding on a broom and tasks them with fighting through magical haunted kingdoms. Cotton games have appeared on a variety of consoles including the NEC PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, the Super Nintendo, the Mega Drive/Sega Genesis, the Sega Saturn, the PlayStation, the Neo Geo Pocket Color, and the Dreamcast. There is also a pachinko game featuring Cotton available for the PlayStation 2. Most recently, Cotton appears as a hidden character in the Nintendo DS game Rondo of Swords.
Each Cotton game features a unique story that is loosely connected to the other games in the series. All of these stories revolve around the obsession of a young witch named Cotton with a magical type of candy called “Willow”. In a typical Cotton game, Cotton will embark on her journey through the game’s stages with the hope that she will be rewarded with a Willow at the end. However, when the game is over, she almost always winds up empty handed.
The character Cotton is always very childish. The amusing cut-scenes she stars in have endeared her to fans of Japanese anime.
Fantastic Night Dreams – Cotton was originally released as an arcade game on the Sega System 16B arcade board in 1991. Later, in 1993, it was ported both to the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 as a Super CD-ROM game, as well as to the Sharp X68000 home computer. The Super CD-ROM version, while slightly toned down from the arcade original in graphics and difficulty, includes a remixed redbook audio soundtrack, as well as voice acting in the Japanese release. The X68000 version, though maintaining the arcade version’s soundtrack, features many heavily modified enemy and boss patterns.
Finally, another version came out of for the PlayStation as Cotton Original in 1999, which uses its own redbook audio music and again takes liberties in gameplay reproduction from the arcade version. In addition, the Neo Geo Pocket Color hand-held console also received a scaled down port in 2000. The Turbografx-16 and Neo Geo Pocket Color releases of this game are the only games in the Cotton series to have come out in America.
Fantastic Night Dreams: Cotton is a 2D side-scrolling shooter in which the player takes the role of the young witch Cotton, who sets out on her magical broom on a quest to get her favorite candy. Fortunately for us her obsession gets her in the way of several world-threatening terrors that she must destroy in standard shooter fare.
The game features an experience-earning system in which the more enemies the player kills the more he can upgrade his weapon by collecting power crystals. Players can also charge their weapon for special attacks and enlist the aid of Silk, Cotton’s magical fairy friend who can form up in different “option” configurations.
